M6's will usually dyno more power than the A4's. 
Anyway, I'd guess around 320-330 rwhp
The M6's have about a 13% loss of power in the driveline, so that works out to be aprox. 367.81 hp at the flywheel.
Hahaha, thats what I'm pulling at the flywheel. 367hp.
Lucky you. You did it with less mods.

And BTW, you have a 346ci LS1. Not a 350 like according to your site

come on, you know what i meant. 
350 sounds so much better than 346 or, heaven forbid metric, 5.7L. i didn't know anyone would catch that, maybe i'll have to change it...
BTW, i believe our LS1's are classified as a 5.7L, which converts to 347.84 cubic inches...

I remember when I brought my car to the dyno, I had fellow F-Body club people there.
"Don't be disappointed when you don't break 300rwhp. It's a 98 A4, they tend to dyno lower than other years."
Imagine the looks on their faces with 314rwhp
And I wasn't trying to argue the point, camaro322hp. It just seemed like you were being a smartass with your post. "i hope you're pulling more than 320-330. i dynoed at 322 with fewer mods than you. check my mod list..."
So what if he didn't? If he put down 315rwhp, he may think something is wrong with his car becasue he didn't put down as much as you did. Choose your words wisely, people may take them in the wrong context.

wasn't trying to be smartass at all. just trying to give him a comparison point. he asked for guesses, that's what i was trying to give him based on MY experience with MY car. i know it doesn't make a hill of beans difference for HIS car, but he asked for estimations, so that's what i gave him.

sorry, zman, for turning your post into a pissin match. i'll rephrase my previous post so there's no misunderstandings: in my humble opinion, based on my experience with my car and my mods, you will likely pull 330 or a little higher. have you got it dynoed yet? let us know the results when you do...

I have a 02 which dyno @ 331/346, thats with everything done in my sigs. Now just my .2cents, I find it hard to believe most stock including lids and so are making 320-330 RWHP. I see more and more post 340-350 stock with lids poping up, again my .2cents,( may if your rating at the motor?) I think some of these guys don't calibrate their dynos often. That why you can go to several different places and have different #, over inflating your tires will from what I read will increase your numbers.. I hang out with a lot of guys here in Fl, wfo 383, and alot of work done to their cars and they dyno different # all the time. My friend has a 2000 SS with a stage 2 heads/ 236/228 600/600 thunderracing cam true dual exhaust going out to two Dynomax bullets dumping before the axle, and 1 wet 100shot/1 dry 100shot NOS, now he dyno a couple days ago 420 RWHP just on the motor and a little over 500 something on the spray. So i guess what I'm saying is about # they don't prove anything going down the road 1/4 miles # do. My .2cents Godspeed.........
